Waste legislation in Flanders is amongst the most progressive of Europe. VITO helps to support this policy by researching the technical and economic feasibility of new policy measures. Thus our experts are ideally placed to help you with your waste management.Effective waste management starts with prevention. This helps you to avoid investing in processing plants or expensive contracts with environmental partners. You are able to minimise your waste by, for example, optimising your industrial processes or even revising them substantially. VITO has the necessary knowledge to support you.
Simulation provides insight into the operating process
An accurate simulation enables you to predict the behaviour of your processes under changing boundary conditions. How much raw materials do you actually need? Which change to your process helps to achieve the largest reduction in waste? A better product or process design results in lower maintenance costs and a higher quality of your end products. VITO has advanced software for life cycle analysis, ecodesign and material flow analysis. Our experts fine-tune the software tools to suit your business processes.
From simulation to implementation
VITO experts support you in putting simulations into practice. They help you to select the best solution based on (amongst other factors) environmental yield and compatibility with your existing infrastructure. In addition, we also consider economic aspects. We thus create an accurate costs/benefits analysis and calculate payback periods for investments.
